That's a good idea, I'll try that.

Most of my testing so far has been on the the uEVM, due to easier JTAG access.
For some reason that I have not yet identified, the uEVM actually locks up
slightly more frequently than the Pyra.
I wonder if there is some hardware difference going on, I know a few other
people have had good experiences with the IGEP on older mainline kernels too.
